Author Episode #6 : Amy Edmondson with Andrea Kates, The Fearless Organization

In the Author’s Studio: The Fearless Organization. Amy Edmondson in conversation with Andrea Kates, Futureproofing : Next

In this episode of Futureproofing Next’s In the Author’s Studio, we speak with Amy Edmondson, author of The Fearless Organization. Edmondson’s groundbreaking research in the importance of Psychological Safety established a global standard for organizations working to drive innovation and engineer top-performing teams.

Google studied the secret behind out-performing teams, they were surprised to discover a common element at the heart of it all—psychological safety. Real life research pointed to an irrefutable correlation between team results and the presence of “psychological safety”, a team dynamic that encourages people to speak up without negative repercussions.

That revelation set the stage for Amy Edmondson to expand her insights about psychological safety into her book, The Fearless Organization.

Author Episode #5 : Greg Satell with Andrea Kates, Cascades

Corporate change needs to change. How can it be that a disappointing 74% of corporate transformation projects fail? Greg Satell, author of Cascades, How to Create a Movement that Drives Transformational Change, has figured out why and provides a powerful alternative.

In this interview, In the Author’s Studio with the Futureproofing : Next team, Satell acknowledges that successful corporate transformation begins with a small group of people getting inspired that things can change. However, what sparks change in conceiving of the new vision is not effective in spreading that vision to a larger organization.

You’ll learn how companies like Netflix, Experian, and P&G broke the mold to move from small, team-level wins to a corporate movement. In this lively discussion, Greg Satell shares practical wisdom that is essential to getting well-intentioned change initiatives across the finish line.
